| Summary | "Tessa, Our Little Italian Cousin" by Mary Hazelton Blanchard Wade is a children's novel written in the early 20th century." The story follows Tessa, a nine-year-old girl living in a poor Italian village, who, along with her brother Beppo, embarks on adventures that take them to the bustling city of Rome, where they interact with an artist's family. The book touches on themes of childhood innocence, cultural exploration, and familial love, making it ideal for young readers seeking both entertainment and education about Italian life. "The opening of the story introduces Tessa and her family as they await the return of her father from a day in the city, where he has traded their produce." Tessa joyfully rushes to greet her father, only to be swept into excitement when she learns that she is chosen to model for an artist in Rome. The narrative describes the humble but loving environment of Tessa's home, highlighting the family’s struggles and the bond they share. As Tessa prepares for her first trip to the city, the story sets the stage for her explorations and experiences that will unfold, capturing the charm and beauty of Italian life through a child's eyes.
